ANTOINE GRIEZMANN

Having claimed 20 goals in 49 appearances for Real Sociedad last season and further showcased his abilities at Brazil 2014, Antoine Griezmann appears destined for a move to a major club this summer. His agent alleges a wealth of suitors across the continent:

Griezmann’s Agent: “#LFC, Man United & Arsenal are constantly watching him, as are Marseille and PSG in France; and Milan & Juve in Italy.”

Indeed, the 23 year-old’s role in Sociedad’s rise has been remarkable, propelling them from the Spanish second tier to the Champions League in the space of four seasons. The prior campaign was undoubtedly the France international’s best however. Here’s his highlights from the 2013/14 season…

This effort in a World Cup warm-up friendly wasn’t too bad either…

And you certainly can’t question the Frenchman’s passion – upon his country’s World Cup exit, the winger pulled a Gazza…

Although Griezmann may not be able to match Sanchez’s proven pedigree or natural athleticism, he comes significantly cheaper than th e £35million-rated Barca forward, with a rumoured release clause of £25million.

Antoine Griezmann has a £25M release clause that can be activated in the summer. Reasonable price for a talent like him. — Mariö Ampöv (@MAmpov10) March 2, 2014
